Mike,
These rankings were done in July, things have obviously changed since then. Hence our Top 15’s. I’ve seen Seguin several times this season, and I’m well aware he’s a Top 5 pick at this point, hence our Top 15 rankings where he is now #2.

i totally disagree with these rankings pulkkinen is so overrated and tyler seguin is a lock for top 5 and when it comes to russians this kabanov hype is al good but look at players like tarasenko competing with men on a second line in the khl and burmistrov is as skilled as any russian in the draft and you will see emerson etem replacing the struggline toffoli or galiev in the top 15 another sleeper is jaden schwartz might of only played in the sjhl last year but he is now tearing up the ushl

Dobber :

Tyler Seguin’s not in your top 15? Has your list been updated recently? Any plays to give us a top 50 or top 100? Thanks!

At the time we wrote this list, before the season started, myself and Campbell had a debate between Toffoli and Seguin at the 12 spot. We both had questions on how he'd do with the graduation of certain Plymouth Whalers, most notable Chris Terry. However, its clear now Seguin is indeed the real deal. In the upcoming month or so we will be releasing an update of sorts to these rankings. At this point I think its fairly safe to say that Seguin will likely enter our top 5-6 quite easily. As far as a longer list goes , we have been talking to it, and will likely attempt to expand future rankings to a Top 60 format. Thanks for the comment

Mr connelly should be ranked in the top 3. I suspect by the end of this season he will. Another upcoming underrated star from the whl.

There are a few significant players missing from this list. Notably is Michigan’s Tyler Sequin (Canadian) who led all scorers and the U18 tournament in Prague. NHL information is he is one, if not the top 1992, rated player at this point in time. In fairness, this list may have been created too early in the summer to be updated at Aug 2009. Thanks

Good effort. One thing to note is that Toffoli rarely played with Couture in Ottawa this year, so I’m not sure where the “riding shotgun” idea came from. It was extremely rare to see anybody but Cowick and Nigro on Couture’s wing after the Latta/Nigro trade, nor did Toffoli often stray from the “kid line” before the move. In way that is what makes Toffoli’s season even more impressive, because he did have to create offence, particularly because of Martindale’s mononucleosis and the fact the second line never recovered from losing Latta.
